Title: My Sims adds Donation Section for TS3

2 Lots. Their 1st lot is $3.00 & $4.00 for their newest lot ::) What a rip!

$3-$4 for pixels is a crock of shit. Judging by the looks of that site none of that money is going towards layout. Ick.

Well, it doesn't surprise me. Tugmel is a creator on TSR.

None of the models appeal to me personally on both 2 and 3.

And it's nice to see the "next gen tax" come into effect here.  Though it is a dollar difference beteween the 3 lots and the 2 lots.

Why the fuck would you pay $4 for that ugly ass house that's probably unusable and glitchy  ???

And what about those 6 patterns for only two dollars?  >:( I don't play TS3, but man, this is unacceptable! Even if we forget about their price, those patterns are ugly as hell (still aren't bucketfill, though).

Donation patterns is the silliest concept I've even seen. I mean you can find thousands of patterns everywere, it would be totally stupid to pay for some. >:(

The dumbest thing about donation patterns is that you can easily duplicate it by hitting "Save As" and just pasting it into the pattern editor.

That is exactly was I was thinking. Why pay for a pattern when the picture of the pattern is right there for you to copy and paste for free?

I can agree to that.  But as said before, at least it isn't like what TSR did with bucketfill textures.

I doubt that I would be going up to Sims 3.  With me not liking the looks of the sims from the trailer, hearing that most of the personalities not working how I'd thought they would, and nothing really interesting to note about the game, it's just a case of Do Not Want from me

IMO, it's not that easy. Can I hotlink to the T$R? Take this pattern preview for example:

http://images.thesimsresource.com/1289/1289853.jpg (http://images.thesimsresource.com/1289/1289853.jpg)

You'll have to crop it, remove the Workshop logo, and probably make it seamless before importing it into Pattern Packager.

Veles, I have to disagree with the difficulty of "stealing" that pattern that you insinuated.

Here is the mini TSR verison:

Here is the correct sized seamless version that I edited in about 10-15 seconds with less than ten mouse clicks:

Not quite the same since a liitle quality has been lost, but a much better result could be attained by messing with the contrast, levels and sharpness of the image.

 @ ShanOw: :o Magic! You win, I have no words! Can you teach me the trick? I'm not Photoshop retard, but I couldn't do this that fast.

Also can find lots of tileable patterns, or work with filters and make your own patterns.
